Pinas Sadya Makes Bold New York Fashion Week Debut with “Kabogera With a Purpose”

Manila, Philippines – Pinas Sadya,a homegrown Filipino brand that’s been making headlines recently due to its beautiful fashion pieces that make use of traditional local materials and patterns, has marked its debut at New York Fashion Week, bringing Filipino craftsmanship, bold style, and unapologetic confidence to the global stage. Walking to the rhythm of Maymay Entrata’s Amakabogera, the brand graced the runway with its models that embodied the essence of a modern Kabogera—radiant, confident, and playful.

Kabogera With a Purpose, Through Design that Moves and Inspires

The debut highlighted Pinas Sadya’s Kabogera With a Purpose campaign, a celebration of women embracing their potential and individuality. “Kabogera is your birthright,” says Skeeter Labastilla-Turgut, Founder of Pinas Sadya. “You are born to shine, to stand out, and to achieve your best. This collection is meant to accompany you at different parts of your journey, as you discover, fulfill, and share your purpose.”

Skeeter’s vision brought together iconic Philippine weaves, delicate hand embroidery, and contemporary silhouettes, creating dynamic, versatile pieces that reflect both heritage and modernity. “Every look tells a story,” Skeeter explains. “It allows women to express every side of themselves, with pieces called Meeting with the Ambassador, No Time for That, Ayan na Sya! all while carrying kabogera pride.”

Strategic Global Positioning and Customer Engagement

With the help of Filipinxt, an innovative platform that showcases Filipino creativity and craftsmanship on the global stage, Pinas Sadya was able to bring such concepts to life at NYFW and offered an opportunity to showcase Filipino design to an international audience.

“There’s a growing global appetite for Philippine-made, thoughtfully designed products. The response we received confirmed that Filipino creativity resonates internationally while staying true to its roots,” notes Valerie Fischer, Co-Founder and General Manager of Pinas Sadya.

Fischer adds, “It has been very exciting to see our audience engage with the collection and connect with the stories behind the pieces. The enthusiasm and feedback reinforced the potential for Filipino brands on a global scale.”

Collaborations on and Behind the Runway

Key partnerships elevated the presentation. Farah Abu, a Filipino artist and designer guided by a deep passion for creating beautiful and distinctive artistic expressions, provided accessories that perfectly complemented Skeeter’s designs, adding depth, cohesion, and personality. Collaboration with the organizers of Filipinxt further amplified visibility, providing curated exposure to media, buyers, and influencers.

In the same vein, runway presentations of this scale require precision, creativity, and teamwork. Skeeter thanks Filipinxt for leading the effort and acknowledges the invaluable contributions of fellow designers and partners—Bitagcol, Style Ana, Farah Abu, Bessie Besana, Ram Silva, and Project Runway Season 21 winner Veejay Floresca—each of whom contributed to the success of Pinas Sadya’s NYFW debut; as well as the makeup artists, photographers, production crew, marketplace staff, and models who added to the overall cohesive experience that reflected Pinas Sadya’s brand DNA: joy, pride, and confidence.

Looking Ahead

The NYFW debut marked a milestone in Pinas Sadya’s journey, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to heritage, boldness, and purpose-driven design. Valerie concludes, “To all the kabogera women out there: this collection, this moment, and this energy are for you. Shine, stand out, and make your mark—the world is ready.”

Following the overwhelming response and invitations from partners and audiences, Pinas Sadya will return to New York for YAMAN 2025—a cultural movement bringing the heart of the Philippines to New York City. YAMAN celebrates heritage, empowers artisans, and creates opportunities for communities to thrive worldwide—values that perfectly align with Pinas Sadya’s mission to showcase Filipino creativity on the global stage.

Shopee 10.10 Brands Festival Drives 500% Growth on Shopee Mall, Highlighting Success of Homegrown Brands Like Tiny Buds and Happy Skin

From beauty to baby care, Filipino brands are finding growth and stronger consumer trust through Shopee Mall

Manila, Philippines – Shopee, a leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Brazil, concluded its 10.10 Brands Festival with over 500 percent sales growth on Shopee Mall, reaffirming that trust and authenticity remain key drivers of online purchase behavior. 

Shopee Mall continues to strengthen its position as a key driver of brand growth, linking businesses with high-value consumers and enabling them to scale through a continually advancing ecosystem.

Building Trust Where It Matters Most

Well-loved Filipino brands Tiny Buds and Happy Skin have shown how Shopee Mall helps homegrown labels earn the trust of discerning consumers, particularly in baby care and beauty, where authenticity and safety are non-negotiable. This focus on trust and authenticity continues to drive results, with Babies & Kids, Makeup, and Health & Personal Care categories achieving up to 200 percent sales growth during 10.10.

Tiny Buds, a family-owned, women-led baby care brand, was among the first to join Shopee Mall, recognizing early on how vital trust is for parents. “Shopee Mall has been integral to our growth because it gives parents confidence that every product sold is genuine and safe,” shared Lorin Tan, Marketing Head. “For moms and dads, peace of mind matters most, and being in Shopee Mall allows us to provide that assurance while reaching more families across the country.” Beyond its online presence, Tiny Buds also takes pride in manufacturing most of its products locally, allowing the brand to ensure that each item meets the high standards parents expect.

For Happy Skin, a woman-led, cult-favorite beauty brand, Shopee has been instrumental in sustaining its growth online. “I started Happy Skin 12 years ago with the goal of creating a premium local beauty brand; something that could stand alongside global names, but proudly Filipino-made,” shared Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez, CEO. “At the time, e-commerce wasn’t our main channel, but the pandemic accelerated our shift online. Getting that Shopee Mall badge was a natural step, as it assures consumers that our products are authentic.”

Connecting Brands and Consumers

Shopee’s tools continue to help Filipino brands reach more shoppers. The 10.10 campaign saw nearly 200 percent growth in checkouts via Shopee Video.

For Tiny Buds, Shopee Live has become a safe space for parents to learn and connect. This connection with its audience has translated into strong results, with the brand topping the Baby & Kids category in items sold on Shopee Live during 10.10. “Moms are very discerning. When you become a new parent, you’re just like your baby – you’re learning everything from scratch,” Tan shared. “Shopee Live is powerful because it lets parents reach out to us directly and ask questions, and we make sure the information we share is always helpful and reliable.”

For Happy Skin, features such as Flash Sales and Super Brand Days have helped to drive visibility during high-traffic moments. “Shopee gives brands like ours the opportunity to stand out through its campaigns and platform features,” shared Yuengtian-Gutierrez. “It attracts a strong base of shoppers with higher basket sizes, particularly during major Double Day campaigns.”

Powering Homegrown Brands Online

During 10.10, the number of Shopee Affiliates recorded 122 percent growth, reflecting how more Filipinos are discovering new ways to earn and participate in the digital economy. This momentum mirrors the broader success of local entrepreneurs on the platform, as more Filipino businesses continue to grow their presence online.

For emerging Filipino entrepreneurs, established brands like Happy Skin and Tiny Buds offer valuable perspectives from their own journeys.

“Building trust should always come first,” said Yuengtian-Gutierrez. “Joining Shopee Mall builds credibility and consumer confidence from the start. Even for small brands, it’s a smart investment that drives growth through visibility and support. E-commerce is continuously growing, so it’s crucial for brands to be visible on the number one platform.”

Tan shared similar encouragement for new sellers. “Every brand starts small, but growth begins when you take that first step,” she said. “Shopee makes it easy to start and scale, and it gives us the tools to turn creativity into something that reaches more customers.”

6 out of 10 Filipino Adults Are at Risk of Osteoporosis, Anlene Sounds the Alarm on the Silent Health Crisis

Alarming new data from bone scans conducted by Anlene between 2024 and 2025 reveal a silent health crisis among Filipinos. Out of more than 80,000 Filipinos who took part in the initiative, a shocking 6 out of 10 (59%) were found to be at risk of osteoporosis or osteopenia, with cases detected in individuals as young as 24 years old.

Osteopenia signifies lower-than-normal bone density without fractures, serving as a critical precursor to osteoporosis—a more severe condition involving weak, fragile bones and a high fracture risk, even from minor falls.

“By 2050, around 10.2 million Filipinos could be affected by osteoporosis, with another 30 million at high risk of developing osteopenia,” shared Dr. Len Lugue Lizardo, member of the Board of Trustees of the Osteoporosis Society of the Philippines Foundation, Inc. (OSPFI). Lizardo highlighted that a lack of exercise and natural aging are among the primary reasons why individuals might develop these conditions.

A 2023 National Nutrition Survey (NNS) Food Consumption Survey also revealed that Filipinos across all age groups are not consuming enough to meet their Recommended Energy Intake (REI). The average intake of calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C remains low across nearly all age groups, except for infants and preschoolers. Protein deficiency is another concern, particularly among pregnant and lactating women.

Getting back pain after sitting for too long is one sign of weakening bone-joint-muscle (BJM) health. Unfortunately, most Filipinos don’t act until it’s too late.

Osteoporosis can significantly impact an individual’s ability to live a full and productive life, hindering their pursuit of personal goals and family responsibilities as they age. This includes other conditions such as sarcopenia and osteoarthritis, where muscle mass and joint cartilage progressively deteriorate.

Mundo (Anlene, Senior Marketing Manager), Mich Cesario (Anlene, Senior Brand Manager), Dr. Lenore Rosario Lugue-Lizardo (OSPFI), Dr. Theresa Marie Valdez-Faller (OSPFI), and Dr. Oliver Wendell Lozano (OSPFI), Jen Chua (Anlene)

Anlene Encourages Filipinos to #KilosLagi

As bone-joint-muscle health continues to decline among Filipinos, Anlene launches its latest advocacy campaign—#KilosLagi—to sound the alarm on this silent health crisis and urge Filipinos to act now.

#KilosLagi is a call to action that prioritizes bone, joint, and muscle health through intentional movement and optimal nutrition. No step is too small — anyone can start by being more mindful in their daily actions: using stairs instead of elevators, parking farther to walk to an entrance, or going to the market instead of ordering online.

Optimal nutrition is equally critical, as it helps sustain increased physical activity. Beyond simply eating “healthy food,” it’s about mindful eating and maintaining the right balance of macronutrients like carbohydrates and protein, and micronutrients including essential vitamins and minerals.

While meat, fruits, vegetables, and conventional milk are traditional sources of these nutrients, drinking adult milk such as Anlene offers a simple and effective way to help ensure daily nutritional needs—especially calcium, vitamin D, protein, and other essential nutrients—are consistently met.

“For years, Anlene has been committed to supporting every Filipino’s bone, joint, and muscle health because we know that when our bodies feel strong, we can move freely, age stronger, and enjoy life doing what we love with our loved ones,” says Jasmin Magsajo, Sales & Marketing Director of Fonterra Brands Philippines Inc., the local distributor of Anlene.

“We encourage everyone to get a bone scan as soon as possible, prioritize proper nutrition with Anlene — specially formulated with high calcium and protein — and adopt the Kilos Lagi mindset to consistently support their bone, joint, and muscle health,” said Magsajo.

Aiming for One Million Bone Scans by 2030

To address this national health concern long-term, Anlene is amplifying its efforts to further the #KilosLagi campaign by conducting free bone scans across the country, with the goal of reaching one million scans by 2030.

In partnership with OSPFI, Anlene is also strengthening collaborations with local government units and private organizations to help significantly reduce the number of Filipinos at risk of osteoporosis.
